Looking at the music of Dutch rock band Focus, started in the late sixties by Thijs van Leer (b /31/03/48) with Jan Akkerman (b 24/12/46). Van Leer still performs and records under the name today (official site here). Akkerman's site here.

Under the Rainbow


The new live album from Jan Akkerman is out today. Some 8 of the 11 grow out of the Focus era. Well worth a listen.
A few days on stand outs for me are Focus 1 and Anonymus (complete with a Yankee doodle segment) both from the very earliest Focus album. Focus 2 excellent, no Focus 3 for some reason.
